Pros

Good benefits, flexible schedule, travel from the city is short.

Cons

Work is uninspiring and boring. No job I've had has required more than a high school education. Lots of dumb people work here due to managers only hiring kids from their alma mater. Management is generally a mess. You'll have to work here for 15-20 years before you even sniff any preliminary design work. Promotions are often less than 3%. Yearly raise is about 2.5%. Pay is good enough to make you think, "Hey at least I have a job."

Pros

Benefits are great, base pay could be better.

Cons

Currently the major location with jobs are not attractive, pay should reflect the undesirable location.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
